Watching the videos of what the Ukranian people are experiencing right now is both frightening and heartbreaking. It's been reported that the civilians are putting up a good fight though and that some Russian soldiers are "confused"...don't know who to shoot because "they look like us". I sure hope this doesn't escalate into WWIII @hollydolly!

Yes, I've seen this as well. There are so many who didn't give a second thought to taking up arms to defend Democracy. I've learned that the Ukrainians are truly amazing in their patriotism and willingness to defend their country. And their President Zelensky is someone to be admired. His consistent messages to his people, the strength he has shown in not giving up and his empathy are impressive.

The Ukrainians are so patriotic and steadfast in their beliefs. This does truly break my heart and I wish the best possible outcome for them.
 

Putin's 'propagandist-in-chief' has threatened the West with nuclear destruction just hours after the Russian leader put his deterrent forces on 'alert'.

Speaking on nation-wide TV amid a frenzy of anti-Western rhetoric, TV anchor Dmitry Kiselyov told viewers: 'Our submarines can shoot more than 500 nuclear warheads.

'This would guarantee destruction of the USA, and all other NATO countries.

In accordance with the principle "Why do we need the world, if Russia isn't there?"

'Russia's nuclear arms are delivered by the world's fastest strategic bombers.

'That's without even mentioning Russian Strategic Missile Forces. The Russian nuclear potential is the strongest in the world.

'Today our Russian Nuclear Triad is on the high alert. Putin did warn [the West]. Do not try to scare Russia.'

If Putin isn’t knocked back in some way I believe that we will see him in Cuba.

A Russian foothold 90 miles from the United States would be very appealing to him.

He has recently forgiven Cuban debt payments in an effort to strengthen Russian relations.

It could be a flashback to the 60s.

The Ukrainians haven't forgotten the past, and they absolutely treasure their hard-won democratic way of life.
 


Finland will today debate joining NATO after a petition calling for a referendum reached 50,000 signatories in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The move to debate Finland's NATO membership comes despite neighbouring Russia threatening the country with 'military and political consequences' if they join the military alliance.
Finnish MPs will discuss the possibility of their country joining NATO on Tuesday after an opinion poll showed a historic change in attitude in the traditionally non-aligned country after Putin waged war on Ukraine.
'I fully understand that the view of many Finns on the issue of NATO membership has changed or is changing as Russia has started military action against Ukraine. This is understandable,' Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin said.

She said on Monday evening that a planned debate in parliament the following day would cover the situation in Ukraine and was not intended as a 'wider conversation on Finland's policy regarding military alignment or non-alignment'.

But she added that since a citizen's petition requesting a parliament debate on a referendum had reached the necessary 50,000 signatories to trigger a debate in parliament, it 'makes sense to hear the parties' views on handling the issue.'

'From this perspective, the issue will also figure in tomorrow's parliamentary debate,' Marin said.

The petition, which is calling for a referendum on membership, was launched last Monday and reached the targeted 50,000 by the end of the week.

Marin said that the shift in Finnish opinion on joining NATO has been influenced by Russia's movements in Ukraine.

She told Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat: 'The question is if Russia crosses a border, are we alone or with others.'

Finland shares a lengthy land border with Russia, and the two countries fought a short but bloody war over it between 1939 to 1940 which saw Finland inflict heavy losses on Soviet forces.

Russia has threatened both Sweden and Finland - Moscow's Arctic neighbours - with 'military consequences' if they join NATO. Both countries have rejected any Russian interference in their foreign security policy.

Pakistan today became the first major nation to back pariah Vladimir Putin as it signed the first new trade deal with Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.

Prime Minister and former cricketer Imran Khan has said that his country will import about 2million tons of wheat and supplies of natural gas after meeting the Russian President last Thursday - the day he sent troops into its sovereign neighbour.

Despite Russia facing international isolation and a raft of sanctions crippling its economy, Khan has defended potentially pumping billions into the Kremlin's coffers saying Pakistan's economic interests 'required it'.

He said of the two-day trip: 'We went there because we have to import 2million tons of wheat from Russia. Secondly, we have signed agreements with them to import natural gas because Pakistan's own gas reserves are depleting,' Khan said, adding: 'Inshallah (God willing), the time will tell that we have had great discussions'.

Putin today moved to block foreign companies pulling out of Russia and trap their cash to prop up their imploding war economy after BP and Shell pledged to sell up £15billion ($20bn) of joint ventures following the invasion of Ukraine.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced a presidential order had been signed as Western countries stepped up sanctions, the rouble crashed to an all-time low and Russians queued night and day to pull cash from ATMs amid a run on the banks.
